The Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum (EaP CSF) is co-organising a round table discussion on “Visa Liberalisation for Ukraine – is the EU ready to support it?“, to be held at the European Parliament in Brussels on 1 December.

Key speakers and participants will debate the current security and migration challenges influencing the visa-free prospect of Ukraine and the willingness of EU member states to support the introduction of a visa-free regime.

Ukraine has never been so close to the abolition of the visa regime with the EU as it is now, but this process can still be delayed because the number of asylum seekers from Ukraine is still increasing, a press release noted.
